Jules Dumont d'Urville was one of the first people to set foot on Antarctica in 1820 when it was discovered by groups of researchers and explorers. Antarctica has the highest average altitude and lowest average temperature of any continent, with 98% of its territory covered by a layer of ice that can reach 4,000 meters thick in some areas. It is also the coldest continent on Earth, with recorded temperatures as low as -89.2 degrees Celsius.

Antarctica is a continent with the highest average altitude,
lowest humidity, and lowest average temperature. Almost 98% of it territory is covered by a layer of ice, and sometimes it can reach 4,000 m. The unique weather and climate of Antarctica provide the basis for its familiar names “ Home of the Blizzard and White Desert “. By far, Antarctica is the coldest continent with - 89.2^C.
The is one of the few continuously active volcanoes and
the southernmost active volcano on Earth. It has a lava lake with a temperature of 927^C. This volcan is always “alive”, emitting gas and spewing pieces of molten rock and feldspar
